and after \u2013 philosophy of natural results"},"content":{"rendered":"\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The philosophy of a natural result<\/h2>\n\n<p>The goal of plastic surgery is not to change someone, but to restore the natural harmony of the face or body.<\/p>\n\n<p>A successful treatment is usually not noticeable as &#8220;surgery.&#8221; What often is noticeable, is that someone: <\/p>\n\n<ul style=\"margin-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--12-8);margin-bottom:var(--wp--preset--spacing--12-8)\" class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>looks fresher<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>appears more rested<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>has better facial balance<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<p>The result must suit the patient&#8217;s anatomy and appearance.<\/p>\n\n<p>Therefore, a natural and harmonious approach is central.<\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What defines a good result?<\/h2>\n\n<p>A good result in plastic surgery is not determined by technique alone.<\/p>\n\n<p>Key elements include:<\/p>\n\n<ul style=\"margin-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--12-8);margin-bottom:var(--wp--preset--spacing--12-8)\" class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>respect for the natural proportions of the face<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>subtle correction of aging changes<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>preservation of facial expressions<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>balance between different facial zones<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<p>The goal is for the face to look fresher yet recognizable.<\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Subtle correction instead of overcorrection<\/h2>\n\n<p>In modern plastic surgery, the emphasis lies on subtle corrections.<\/p>\n\n<p>Overcorrection can lead to an unnatural result.<\/p>\n\n<p>Therefore, the following are often chosen:<\/p>\n\n<ul style=\"margin-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--12-8);margin-bottom:var(--wp--preset--spacing--12-8)\" class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>small, targeted corrections<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>restoration of volume where necessary<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>respect for the natural anatomy<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<p>This approach helps to achieve a result that remains in harmony with the face or body.<\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Individual anatomy<\/h2>\n\n<p>Every patient has a unique anatomy.<\/p>\n\n<p>Therefore, every treatment is adapted to:<\/p>\n\n<ul style=\"margin-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--12-8);margin-bottom:var(--wp--preset--spacing--12-8)\" class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>the structure of the face<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>the skin quality<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>the ratio between different zones of the face<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>the patient&#8217;s expectations<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<p>What is suitable for one patient is not necessarily the best solution for another.<\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Facial rejuvenation<\/h2>\n\n<p>When rejuvenating the face, various elements of aging are taken into account.<\/p>\n\n<p>Important factors include:<\/p>\n\n<ul style=\"margin-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--12-8);margin-bottom:var(--wp--preset--spacing--12-8)\" class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>skin laxity<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>loss of volume<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>shifting of fatty tissue<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>changes in bone structure<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<p>Therefore, a combination of techniques is often used, such as:<\/p>\n\n<ul style=\"margin-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--12-8);margin-bottom:var(--wp--preset--spacing--12-8)\" class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>facelift<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>neck lift<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>eyelid surgery<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>facial lipofilling<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>lip lift<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>chin and jawline correction<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<p>By considering these factors together, a more harmonious rejuvenation can be achieved.<\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Body corrections<\/h2>\n\n<p>A natural contour is also central to body corrections.<\/p>\n\n<p>Procedures such as:<\/p>\n\n<ul style=\"margin-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--12-8);margin-bottom:var(--wp--preset--spacing--12-8)\" class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>breast augmentation<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>breast lift<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>breast reduction<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>liposuction<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>tummy tuck<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>body contouring<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<p>focus on improving body shape while maintaining natural proportions.<\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Realistic expectations<\/h2>\n\n<p>An important part of plastic surgery is discussing realistic expectations.<\/p>\n\n<p>During the consultation, the following are therefore discussed in detail:<\/p>\n\n<ul style=\"margin-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--12-8);margin-bottom:var(--wp--preset--spacing--12-8)\" class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>what is possible<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>what results can be expected<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>what limitations exist<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<p>Good communication beforehand helps to achieve a result that aligns with the patient&#8217;s expectations.<\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Personal consultation<\/h2>\n\n<p>Every patient has a unique anatomy and set of expectations.<\/p>\n\n<p>During a consultation, we discuss:<\/p>\n\n<ul style=\"margin-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--12-8);margin-bottom:var(--wp--preset--spacing--12-8)\" class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>which areas concern you<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>which treatments are possible<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>which results are realistic<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<p>Based on this, a personalized treatment plan is drawn up.<\/p>\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The philosophy of a natural result The goal of plastic surgery is not to change someone, but to restore the
